Das Ende der Welt wie wir sie kennen : Geschichten aus Stephen Kings THE STAND

Eine Anthologie mit 34 brandneuen Kurzgeschichten basierend auf Stephen Kings Meisterwerk, dem Nr. 1 New-York-Times-Bestseller THE STAND!

Seit seiner Erstveröffentlichung im Jahr 1978 gilt THE STAND als Stephen Kings bahnbrechendes Meisterwerk der apokalyptischen Fiktion. Mit Millionen verkaufter Exemplare und zwei TV-Adaptionen hat dieser Kultroman Generationen von Schriftstellern beeinflusst. Obwohl es andere bemerkenswerte Werke gibt, die den Zerfall der menschlichen Gesellschaft erforschen, war keines so einflussreich wie dieses – mit seiner beeindruckenden Charaktervielfalt und der düsteren, aber letztlich hoffnungsvollen Vision vom Ende und dem Neubeginn unserer Zivilisation.

Nun hat Stephen King zum ersten Mal offiziell eine Rückkehr in die erschütternde Welt von DAS LETZTE GEFECHT autorisiert - in Form dieser Anthologie, präsentiert von den preisgekrönten Autoren und Herausgebern Christopher Golden und Brian Keene.

DAS ENDE DER WELT WIE WIR SIE KENNEN vereint einige der größten und visionärsten Schriftsteller unserer Zeit und bietet unvergessliche, brandneue Erzählungen, die während und nach (und manche vielleicht lange nach) den Ereignissen von DAS LETZTE GEFECHT spielen – vierunddreißig brillante, furchterregende und zutiefst menschliche Geschichten, die bei Lesern weltweit zum unverzichtbaren Begleiter des klassischen Bestseller-Romans avancieren werden.

Mit einer Einleitung von Stephen King, einem Vorwort von Christopher Golden und einem Nachwort von Brian Keene.

Zu den Autoren gehören:

Wayne Brady und Maurice Broaddus, Poppy Z. Brite, Somer Canon, C. Robert Cargill, Nat Cassidy, V. Castro, Richard Chizmar, S. A. Cosby, Tananarive Due und Steven Barnes, Meg Gardiner, Gabino Iglesias, Jonathan Janz, Alma Katsu, Caroline Kepnes, Michael Koryta, Sarah Langan, Joe R.
